The first thing we will say is that every single property owner we work with is registered and licensed with the council in Leon as otherwise they would not be able to provide short accommodation services to any tourists. Further, we operate directly from the United Kingdom what means any payments made will be held in the UK until the rental services have been rendered. This provides UK travelers with more control especially when it comes to making cancellations or resolving any issues.
Nowadays everyone uses platforms like Air B&B or Booking among others to book their holiday flat rental. Depending on the time of the year the price will always fluctuate in accordance to the offer and demand. These platforms charge both the host (up to 20% per booking) and the customer (up to 10%) per reservation.
What customers do not realize(maybe they do) is that the host has to pass their fees on to the customers by increasing the prices up to the 20% commission these big platforms are charging, keep in mind the more the host increases the prices to keep up with the fees, the customer making the reservation tends to pay and extra op up to 25% which will go to the booking platform pocket. In addition to the commissions there are admin fees and payment processing fees. We understand there companies are businesses however we do not believe their fees are really justified or add a lot of value. Think about it, their purpose is no other than making s many bookings as possible but the customer and their experience seems not to be the main priority.
On the other hand, us at Leon, a World Heritage City we are looking to help UK customers to rent a flat during their stay in the city but also looking to assist tourists and give them tips about the city or simply give you the best place to have steak.
Our vision is helping UK tourists looking to visit Leon but at the same time add value to the local economy and help Leon to become a more popular holiday destination for international tourists.
